Modify some of the engineering/assembly

I bought the 130 gal. box about 3 yr. ago & use it on a screened-in porch. It was a booger to assemble with 3 people & several college degrees. USE YOUR WORDS Showing pictures with no words make this seem like something from IKEA. Some of the parts were difficult to assemble; holes didn't line up well & we had to modify with the electric drill. Several of the parts (i.e., metal bar in lid & half of the hinge) could be partially assembled at the factory to make this easier to assemble & you could see which holes don't line up right. If I hadn't had the first box to look at, I would have had even more trouble assembling the second box. Overall, I love this box for all the patio chair cushions. I draped plastic over the tops & down the sides to help keep any rain out. My daughter will be glad to inherit my boxes when I die!!

Extremly Disappointed

I ordered this box to put my clothes in for longtime storage while im on vaction. It shipped fast by fedex, I ordered it on july 27 and got it on August 1st. Well when i tried to put it together by reasing the directions amd looking at the videos. The long side panels would not slide in to the right or even go in at all. It took three adults to try to push that side panel in and attempt to slide it in. No budge what so ever. It would not go in. We tried hammers, sitting on the black part to keep it from moving and sitting in the side panels while trying to hammer it in just even a bit. Nothing. Now I have a huge box in my house taking up space aince its un useable and out of money. The pieces are either crooked or extremly hard to put in. Even in the videos online by lifetime storage, the man in the video had a hard time putting the side panel in and then they cut off the video and skipped to a completed side. I should have known, I wish I realized rhis before.

Just what I needed

First - this things is BIG. Be sure you have room for it. I took me about 20 minutes to assemble working alone. Directions could use some improvement but it is pretty straight forward if you look at what you have. Totally dry inside after getting a 3 inch rain event.

Great storage on our pool deck

I purchased one of these cabinets 2 yrs ago and found we needed another one and bought it this week. It is a great cabinet for storing cushions -- they never get wet when it rains. Or for pool toys when the kids are done playing. The instructions are great -- there were two items I figured out but would have made the set up eaiser if they had been included -- the need for a phillips head screwdriver and the parts inventory was missing the screws that required the use of the screwdriver. The instructions included that informaiton when you get to that page -- it would have been easier if all the tools had been listed.

Functional BUT many problems!

First box arrived but plastic pieces were very warped and would not fit together no matter what we did. My husbands a contractor but this thing frustrated the heck out of him! Second box arrived and plastic pieces fit together. We were pretty happy BUT this was tedious and very time consuming to put together. We would NOT recommend this to anyone. You will need lots of tools to put this thing together such as a mallet, screw driver, open end wrenches, and can’t recall any more at this time. Then there is a book on hoe to put this monster together. Finally, the manufacturers knew what they were doing when they decided to sell products like this unassembled...it’s honestly a pain to put this together and I would never buy anything like this again!!!!!!!

Perfect for the patio!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for keeping your stuff clean and dry! I bought three of them, I store bulk bags of wood pellets for my pellet bar-b-que in one, firewood in another and patio furniture seat pads and covers in the third one. They are well made, heavy duty and go together easily. The hydraulic lid strut is a great touch and keeps the lid open even in a strong wind. I highly recommend these deck boxes for anyone looking for extra outside storage.

This is a great storage box!

Our storage box arrived today via FedEx. After taking it from the box, it was completely assembled and in use within 1 hour. Directions were detailed and easy to follow. Box is extremely sturdy and the support air closures prevent the lid from closing accidentally. I am glad we purchased this and I would definitely order again.

Fabulous Product!!

We bought this for our back porch, but ended up using it as a trunk, in the back of our pickup, on a recent vacation. I put it together, caulked the corners and bottom to make it more water tight, then strapped and wedged it into the bed of the truck. It added so much room to our truck and came in so handy, that we are going to keep it as our truck trunk. I'm 65 and this went together easily and was not hard to move around, once it was together. Great purchase!!

Very rough assembly required!

We purchased this product and assembling it was ridiculously difficult! We had to grease the parts and use a rubber hammer to get them to slide together. It took two of us and was still awkward and difficult. Screws did not line up well and no tools were included to help with assembly. I would have paid extra to have the two different sized wrenches needed, included. It would have been best to have the same size screws and one size tool, included.

Wonderful

I have outdoor chairs sets with voluminous cushions and this deck box works perfectly to stash the pillows when not needed. The deck box is waterproof, so the cushions don't get wet and it seems to keep insects out, too. It is sturdy and can be used for extra seating. They wipe down easily and are relatively quick to assemble - I have three of them so the first one took the longest, but the other two were faster to put together. The instructions are clear, but you must be detail-oriented when looking at the pictures.
